I wasn't really surprised how much Carlisle was into the spiritual stuff, it kind of just... clicked.I think the little background on Edward's biological mother was fascinating. I can see Edward getting his gift from her.The kiss was a little panicky to me, I could forsee something looming over his mind.

2. What did you think about the information revealed about Edward's mother?I liked that he told bella edwards real eye color, I had actually been wondering about that while I was reading twilight. I was happy to hear that edwards mom was special to him and I also liked that she was the reason he created edward. I wonder if she actually knew Carlisle was a vampire

3. When the kiss happened, did you have any ideas about what was to come?I knew something was about to happen but I really didn't think edward would leave her..

1. Were you surprised by how spiritual Carlisle is?No...the huge cross mentioned in the first book has kinda hinted at it.

2. What did you think about the information revealed about Edward's mother?When I read Twilight I thought it was selfish of Carlisle to change Edward instead of letting him die peacefully, just because he needed a friend. So it's a big relief for me to know that he did that because of Edward's mom. It's interesting to get a glimpse of what Edward was like as a human, and I love the fact that his eyes used to be green (i think it's a beautiful eye color).

3. When the kiss happened, did you have any ideas about what was to come?Kind of, since Bella equated the kiss with the goodbye kiss Edward gave her in Twilight.

1. Were you surprised by how spiritual Carlisle is?No, not really surprised. The only thing that surprised me was how strongly he felt like that.

2. What did you think about the information revealed about Edward's mother?It gave me more insight in Carlisle's actions. And I had to smile when Carlisle revealed Edward's initial eye colour. (Must've been very pretty.)

3. When the kiss happened, did you have any ideas about what was to come?I realized something was about to happen. Bella said it felt like that one goodbye kiss so I could see Edward leaving somewhere in the near future.

1. Were you surprised by how spiritual Carlisle is? No, because of his past as human. Carlisle is just so GOOD.. he is one of my favorites.

2. What did you think about the information revealed about Edward's mother?Umm..I didn't think too much about it. It sounds like Edwards mom was a strong loving woman that knew that Carlisle was capable of doing more for his son than the other doctors.

3. When the kiss happened, did you have any ideas about what was to come?Yes, I had ideas. But i was in denial. I didn't want it to happen..so like Bella..I just pushed the idea away .

1. Were you surprised by how spiritual Carlisle is?Actually, I wasn't. His father was in the clergy, so he had that upbringing, but he was more humane than his father. However, above all, he chooses not to drink human blood. He didn't choose to be a monster and he chooses to maintain his humanity.

2. What did you think about the information revealed about Edward's mother?I really enjoyed learning more about him and where he came from and what he looked like before. I, personally don't think that she knew what Carlisle was, but I don't know that she wouldn't have asked for his help even if she did know--she loved her son.

3. When the kiss happened, did you have any ideas about what was to come?I had a sense of foreboding, that SOMETHING was going to have to happen, but I was still somewhat shocked that he would leave her like that, that he could leave her like that.
